.....Sitting in a tree.....

This is a bridal shower that I threw for a dear friend of mine of 13 years. She married my husband's brother in January. Imagine that! Two great friends becoming sister-in-laws! We can't believe it either. I had the honor of being her MOH so I made sure to take my job seriously and fulfill my duties to the fullest.

This shower was so much fun knowing that Melina would fall in love with all the details. She loves all things trees, particularly dead ones, so I decided to run with that. Check it out...


The invitations were designed by yours truly. The trees were embossed onto the page to add some dimension.

I think the picture wall was my favorite project. Notice the pot the flowers are in? Its covered with tree bark! Awesome steal!











Burlap was used for the table runners.
It was December so I went to the Christmas tree lot and swiped some Christmas tree clippings to go with the pine cones and tree trunk sliver centerpieces.
The favors were different sized glass jars full of olive oil and rosemary. The menu was italian so I found it fitting and super cute! NOTE: rosemary should be dried before infusing into the oil. It gets moldy otherwise, I learned the hard way.

Needless to say the bride was a happy camper and the shower was a success.
